Amendment 2 on Medical Marijuana Headed to Defeat, New Poll Shows

Amendment 2, a proposal to expand medical marijuana use in the Sunshine State, is going to get a majority of votes but not enough to pass, according to a poll released on Monday.

The poll of likely voters taken by St. Pete Polls for Saint PetersBlog shows the proposal coming up short as 54 percent of those surveyed back it and 44 percent oppose it. Only 2 percent are undecided.

To be added to the Florida Constitution, Amendment 2 needs 60 percent in the general election.

The poll of 1,834 likely voters was taken on Nov. 2 and had a margin of error of +/- 2.3 percent.
